What is An eight-bit character set in Ada programs about?
Institute of Mathematical Machine s PL-02-078 Warsaw, Krzywickiego 3 4 POLAND I . INTRODUCTION mom the Ada language reference manual it is evident that the CHAR-ACTER data type allows usage of the 7-bit ASCII character set only. However there are several reasons for using characters from outside thi s ASCII set in the Ada programs . One of the major reasons is the popularity of applications involving text processing where the non-English alphabet is required . The problem arises when national letters (for example: a, u, . . in German; c, 6, . . in French ; and 4, c, . . in Polish) are used. As a rule these characters are placed outside the range of th e 7-bit ASCII character set . Furthermore neither graphical characters (fo r example:., T, . . ) nor Greek letters (for example : a, Q, . . ) useful in mathematical notation can be represented within the 7-bit ASCII character set . On the other hand the additional national letters as well a s the graphical characters mentioned above are included in the well-known 8-bit IBM PC character set widely used in personal computers. The first 128 items of this set are compatible with the 7-bit ASCII character set .
